5* contemporary resort on a natural island - well worth the seaplane to get the more remote castaway vibe!
Accommodation at Dhigali includes around 180 villas and suites that span beachfront and overwater locations. Guests can choose from Beach Villas, Water Villas, Lagoon Villas, and exclusive suites with private pools. Each space is designed with minimalist interiors, open-plan layouts, and natural tones that complement the surroundings. Every villa comes with a private terrace, open-air bathroom, and modern amenities including WiFi, air conditioning, and a well-stocked minibar. Families are well catered for, with interconnecting options and villas designed to accommodate parents and children comfortably, while couples can find privacy and seclusion in the overwater suites.
Dining is a standout feature of Dhigali, with multiple restaurants and bars spread across the island. The main buffet restaurant serves international cuisine with themed evenings, while à la carte venues offer everything from Asian and Mediterranean dishes to seafood grills and casual beachside dining. Guests can also enjoy a sunset cocktail at the resort’s elevated bar, which overlooks the ocean. The Premium All-Inclusive plan is one of Dhigali’s biggest attractions, covering all meals, premium beverages, and a generous selection of activities — allowing guests to fully relax without worrying about add-on costs.
The resort’s facilities are extensive and thoughtfully designed. Dhigali has three swimming pools, a full-service spa offering holistic treatments and yoga sessions, a modern fitness centre, and a kids’ club catering for younger guests. Water lovers will find excellent snorkelling just off the beach, with a thriving house reef home to colourful marine life. A PADI-certified dive centre and a variety of water sports, including kayaking and paddleboarding, provide plenty of options for adventure.
Dhigali Maldives stands out for its effortless blend of contemporary style, excellent all-inclusive value, and strong focus on both couples and families. Its location in the quieter Raa Atoll makes it ideal for guests seeking serenity away from busier islands. The transfer time from Malé is longer than some resorts, but for those happy to travel a little further, Dhigali rewards with outstanding comfort, diverse dining, and a beautiful natural setting. It’s perfect for travellers who appreciate modern design, hassle-free luxury, and a balance between relaxation and activity.
